FLUIDIZED BED POWDER COATING

Fluidized Bed Powders are applied by dipping heated metal parts in an
aerated powder bed . The powder melts on the hot
part and results in a smooth continuous plastic film encapsulating the
metal.

The fluidized bed has three main sections. A top powder hopper where the
powder is held, a porous plate which allows air to pass through, and a sealed
bottom air chamber. When pressurized air is blown into the air chamber it passes
through the plate and causes the powder to float or "fluidize". This
allows the metal part to be coated to be moved through the powder with little
resistance. See our coating services page for
more options.
